Study the given information carefully and answer the following question.

Eight colleagues — E, F, G, H, W, X, Y, and Z — are seated around a circular table. Four of them face towards the center of the table, while the other four face outward (away from the center).

W and E sit opposite each other, and both face towards the center. H sits to the immediate right of W and faces away from the center. G sits to the immediate left of H and faces away from the center. F sits between E and G, facing towards the center. Three people sit between G and Y. X sits to the immediate left of W and faces away from the center. Z sits between Y and E.

Who among the following sits to the immediate right of X?

Correct Answer: Y

To determine who sits to the immediate right of X, let us analyze the seating positions step-by-step around the circular table of 8 seats (numbered 1 through 8 in clockwise order):

Step 1: Position W and E
W and E sit opposite each other, and both face towards the center.
• Let W be placed at Position 1 (facing Center).
• E is placed directly opposite W at Position 5 (facing Center).

Step 2: Position H
H sits to the immediate right of W and faces away from the center.
• Since W faces towards the center, the right of W is in the counter-clockwise direction (Position 8).
• Thus, H is at Position 8 (facing Outward).

Step 3: Position G
G sits to the immediate left of H and faces away from the center.
• Since H faces away from the center (Outward), the left direction of H points toward Position 7.
• Thus, G is at Position 7 (facing Outward).

Step 4: Position F
F sits between E and G, facing towards the center.
• The position between E (Position 5) and G (Position 7) is Position 6.
• Thus, F is at Position 6 (facing Center).

Step 5: Position Y
Three people sit between G and Y.
• In an 8-person circular table, having 3 people between two persons means they sit directly opposite each other.
• The position opposite G (Position 7) is Position 3.
• Thus, Y is at Position 3.

Step 6: Position X
X sits to the immediate left of W and faces away from the center.
• Since W faces towards the center, the immediate left of W is in the clockwise direction (Position 2).
• Thus, X is at Position 2 (facing Outward).

Step 7: Position Z
Z sits between Y and E.
• The position between Y (Position 3) and E (Position 5) is Position 4.
• Thus, Z is at Position 4.

Complete Seating Arrangement (Clockwise from Position 1 to 8):
• Position 1: W (Facing Center)
• Position 2: X (Facing Outward)
• Position 3: Y
• Position 4: Z
• Position 5: E (Facing Center)
• Position 6: F (Facing Center)
• Position 7: G (Facing Outward)
• Position 8: H (Facing Outward)

Finding the Immediate Right of X:
X is located at Position 2 and faces away from the center (Outward).
For a person facing outward at Position 2, their immediate right direction goes clockwise towards Position 3.
The person sitting at Position 3 is Y.

Therefore, Y sits to the immediate right of X.
